  text: "Strong optomechanical coupling -- a regime where mechanical motion is damped\r\nby
    environmental radiation -- has traditionally required demanding experimental\r\ningredients
    such as superconducting resonators, high-quality optical cavities,\r\nor large
    magnetic fields. Here we demonstrate a room temperature, cavity-free,\r\nall-electric
    device reaching this regime at radio frequencies, enabled by a\r\nmechanically
    compliant parallel-plate capacitor with a nanoscale plate\r\nseparation and an
    aspect ratio exceeding 1,000. The device has four orders of\r\nmagnitude lower
    insertion loss than a comparable commercial quartz crystal, and\r\nachieves a
    position imprecision rivaling an optical interferometer. With the\r\nhelp of a
    back-action isolation scheme, we observe radiative cooling of\r\nmechanical motion
    by a remote cryogenic load. This work provides a\r\ntechnologically accessible
    route to high-precision sensing, transduction, and\r\nsignal processing."
